I need not here dilate upon the deficiencies of Nickelback. The great oracle Google will show us the way through Googlefight:
Nickelback does indeed suck.

AKA People have been sending us angry emails all night, so we're reconsidering...much like we did with Ron McLean a few years back.

Maybe it's part of the NHL's attempts to evolve and expand to a broader market.....

Okay, I'll chime in.
Bob Cole & Greg Millen need to be taken out to pasture... and shot. Please bring along Glenn Healy & Pierre Maguire too.
Nickelback is the best thing out of Hanna, Alberta since Lanny McDonald. And their music is great. Deal with it.
Corner Gas is the best Canadian show since The Littlest Hobo... okay... maybe since SCTV... but still AWESOME (even if it IS about some hicktown in Saskabush!) and I never miss an episode. Damn, I just admitted I like something from the prairies...
The HNIC theme is akin to our National Anthem. For you Americans, picture them taking away "America The Beautiful" from your lives and see how you feel. This is appalling and pathetic of some idiotic CBC bureaucrat (is that redundant?) making a rash decision without thinking of any sort of outcome. Updating HNIC is fine, like adding the "Saturday" theme to it or whatever... but taking away a truly iconic theme song like this is like taking away the Henderson goal in '72.
Bottom line... a stupid decision.

Ditto! I can't believe I actually agree with everything a Canucks fan just said, but I do agree on all 4 parts (ok I've missed some episodes of Corner Gas, but I agree it's damn funny!)

Verified Trader,
That's not true Bruce - I once passed a kidney stone in Hanna. So the heirarchy goes....Lanny....stone....*then* Nickelback.

Nickelback is atrocious. My g/f laughs at my reaction whenever they come on the radio or something. I'd probably enjoy chewing on glass more than going to a Nickelback show.
Thankfully Portugal knows they suck too:

Britney Spears, the Pusssssycat Dolls and Hanna Montana have probably sold more... don't tell me they are good too.

you're right album sales don't dictate quality all the time but i guess all 21 million people have horrible taste in music. As for you what are your fav bands?
DredJAw
Upstanding Member,
Tool, Dredg, Deftones, Mars Volta, and Glassjaw
theres 5. Trash any of them all you want, at least all there songs don't sound the same. Unlike Nickelback who's albums have 12 songs that go "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, *solo/bridge thingy* chorus" every time.

:beer: Nice band choices. I think Canada owes a big apology to the USA for Nickelback. Cant believe Canada is up in arms over a theme song.
Again, it's not just a theme song....it's basically our second national anthem. You may have noticed that hockey is kind of a big part of our culture, and HNIC is what has fueled that over the decades. For 40 years that simple, catchy theme has been instilled in many of us. I understand that times change and sometimes you need to update things (the theme itself has actually been updated twice IIRC), but to throw that much tradition away is a slap in the face.

Funny thing - Every time a music debate comes up everyone I speak to lists Tool as a fav band but when you ask to name 5 songs they like their "um, uh, wait Sober I think is one????" then they have to go and google Tool to find the songs. Mars Volta ok come talk to me when you find some taste in music my friend.

Upstanding Member,
Tool has been my favourite band since 1996's album Aenima. If you saw me at the expo last month (and many HI people did) you would have seen me wearing a Tool t-shirt. I own all there albums, from Opiate to Aenima to Lateralus to Salival and now 10,000 Days. If you like, I can take a picture of me and all there albums together?
As for your last comment, I can say the same to you. Talk to me when you like a band that doesn't play the same 3 chords over and over.
DredJAw
Upstanding Member,
If you want my fav tool songs, well, in no real order:
Stinkfist, Forty 6 & 2, 10,000 days, Eulogy, The Grudge, H, Hush, The Pot, and Sober
